Hello all, This is my first time on the site, so please have patients with me.
I have a 3 year old American Pit Bull Terrier. He is the kindest, most loyal dog I have ever had. Very misunderstood breed. This guy is my best friend. My question is this....I have 2 couches in my living room. Each has a blanket and pillow on it. One is for me, the other for my Boo. Whenever I get up and leave the room, my dog gets off his spot and lays down on my pillow and blanket. It happens everytime I leave the room. He looks at me with sad eyes when I re-enter, so I usually lay with him for a few minutes, and gently show him his spot. Why does he do this, His couch is 3 feet from mine, and he has his own clean pillow and comforter. Any idea? It does not bother me that much, I just would like to know what this behavior means. Thank you...

My dog does this too , Boo likes your pillow because it smells like you. If I leave my nightgown on my bed my dog Marty will take a nap right on it. I have two pillows on my couch one for me and one for my dog and Marty will take over my spot when I get up. I like this on a cold day, my dog heat up my spot for me.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
